Earlier this afternoon, the old village shop in the square sold for it’s guide price of £175,000 at Symonds & Sampson’s Property auction held in Sherborne. (More details of the property can be viewed HERE)
Alastair Boyd, with his wife Dee ran the shop for several years. After Dee died, Alastair closed the shop and this led to the creation of our wonderful Broadwindsor Community Stores which opened in March 2013.
The Grade II Listed building has 3 bedroomed living accommodation above and a small garden at the rear. After lying empty for ten years, the property will require some modernisation and improvement. With the necessary work that has to be done there together with the work going on at The White Lion – the look of Broadwindsor’s village square is rapidly changing.
We look forward to welcoming the new owner
and wish them every happiness in their new home 🙂
Thank you to Richard Thornborough for the photograph above which shows the village shop in the Edwardian era 🙂
